AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

US–Iran Diplomacy: US envoy Steve Witkoff and Iran FM Abbas Araghchi are headed to Switzerland to turn the interim MoU into a lasting deal, but Lebanon’s ceasefire fragility is already testing the process. Lebanon/Israel: Hours after a reported Israel–Hezbollah ceasefire, Israeli strikes and drone attacks killed at least five in southern Lebanon, with more casualties reported and mediators scrambling to stop the slide. Gaza: An Israeli strike in Gaza City killed at least two children, underscoring how ceasefire talk is colliding with near-daily attacks. Pakistan Mediation: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has arrived in Iran to press talks after Switzerland postponements, reflecting Islamabad’s role as a key go-between. Sanctions & Assets: The US and Qatar are reportedly working to unfreeze billions in Iranian funds for humanitarian purchases, while Tehran rejects any move to use Iranian assets to compensate allies. Energy Politics: Iraq’s 2027 budget will prioritize high-impact projects and fiscal reforms, as Hormuz reopening and Lebanon tensions keep oil markets jittery.
